jstackpo Posted October 5, 2011 at 07:38 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 07:38 PM Has the (passing) mention of "policies" in RONR/10 (p. 257) as another name for "Standing Rules" vanished in RONR/11? It would be on p. 266 but it has been expurgated. (Gone from the index, too.)Or has it migrated somewhere else?'Tis a pity if it has gone altogether -- lots or organizations have "Policy Manuals" and it was convenient to have their defined equivalence to Standing Rules available when questions come up about listing or amending "policies".

dglynch Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:03 PM I'm nearly done my (re-?)reading of the entire book, and I don't remember seeing it. A pity.Realistically, that was a bad place for it in the book anyway. It could probably be added to the text on p. 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Honemann Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:34 PM Has the (passing) mention of "policies" in RONR/10 (p. 257) as another name for "Standing Rules" vanished in RONR/11?

The first part of this sentence “Sometimes standing rules are called policies …” is gone, because it was meaningless. It is the substance of a rule that is significant, not the name given to it by any particular organization. If a special rule of order is called a policy (as happens from time to time), it is still a special rule of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:43 PM Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 08:43 PM Oops, the very first word on the top of. p. 265 (the example) is "policy" (!) Shouldn't the word "policy" be struck out and the words "standing rule" be inserted in its place?Meaningless indeed. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
